Campus Overview

● Environment: ~7500 hosts● One subnet per building● No NAT or private addressing● Mostly DHCP

– Some fixed-addresses– Mostly dynamic

● Two departments running their own DHCP● No DDNS (yet)

Ingredients

● Internet Systems Consortium DHCP server (http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/)

● Block-oriented, C-like syntax● Scopes: global, shared-network/subnet/pool,

class, group, host declaration● Server directives: address ranges, allow/deny

clients, lease time settings, DDNS settings, failover configuration, etc.

● DHCP client options: default gateway, domain name, nameservers, etc.

# addresses for all other machines pool { deny members of "class-special"; range 192.168.60.32 192.168.60.254; }}

Problem 1: Segregating Client IPs

You need to allow only the payroll office to access the dedicated check printer.

(Borrowed from last year's presentationas a warmup to class usage.)

Problem 1: Segregating Client IPs

● Solution: Use an IP Access Control List (ACL)● Issue: The payroll office isn't the only office in

the Ad Building, so you need to distinguish their IP addresses from the others

● Solution: Limit their IP addresses to a specific range

● Issue: You don't want to assign static addresses to the payroll office computers

● Solution: Use client classing and multiple pools

Recipe 1: Segregating Client IPs

Create a class for payroll office computers:

# Holder class for payroll officeclass "class-payroll" { match hardware;}

# Match <hardware type (1 == ethernet)> : <MAC address>subclass "class-payroll" 1:00:c0:4f:00:00:00; # Alicesubclass "class-payroll" 1:00:c0:4f:00:00:01; # Bobsubclass "class-payroll" 1:00:c0:4f:00:00:02; # Chris


Create a separate address pool within the Ad Building subnet permitting only the payroll class:

# Acme University Ad Building subnetsubnet 192.168.60.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.60.1; pool { allow members of "class-payroll"; range 192.168.60.16 192.168.60.31; } pool { deny members of "class-payroll"; range 192.168.60.32 192.168.60.254; }}


Finally, add an ACL to limit access to the check printer to the smaller IP range for payroll office computers.

This ACL might be in the router, or in the printer's network interface configuration. When controlling access to a server, put the ACL in the server's application configuration.

Problem 2: Setting up Cisco 1100 Wireless Access Points

You have a shipment of wireless access points to configure and install.

Problem 2: Cisco WAP Setup

● Issue: Cisco 1100 WAPs have no console port, so you can't configure via serial cable.

● Issue: Cisco 1100 WAPs can get their initial address from DHCP, but you don't know what it will be.

● Issue: Cisco 1100 WAPs like to release and change the address they got from DHCP.

● Solution: Have the DHCP server identify the WAP and assign it an address from a pool of one.

Recipe 2: Cisco WAP Setup

Create a class and subclasses to match the different MAC addresses that Cisco burns into 1100s:

# identify Cisco 1100 WAP for special treatment during setupclass "class-cisco-1100" { match substring(hardware, 1, 3);}

# match first three octets of MAC addresssubclass "class-cisco-1100" 00:0d:28;subclass "class-cisco-1100" 00:0f:23;subclass "class-cisco-1100" 00:0f:24;


Create a separate pool within the IT subnet permitting only the Cisco 1100 class and containing only one address:

# Acme University IT subnetsubnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.100.1; pool { deny members of "class-cisco-1100"; range 192.168.100.17 192.168.100.254; } pool { allow members of "class-cisco-1100"; range 192.168.100.16 192.168.100.16; }}


Add the TFTP server information to the 1100 class:

# identify Cisco 1100 WAP for special treatment during setupclass "class-cisco-1100" { match substring(hardware, 1, 3); # TFTP server next-server tftp.acme.edu; filename "setup-1120-confg";}


Create WAP initial configuration file on the TFTP server:

no username Ciscousername admin privilege 15 password 7 085F23581B49461111

clock timezone S -6clock summer-time S recurring

interface Dot11Radio0 no ssid tsunami shutdown ssid AcmeU


Now any 1100 placed on the IT subnet will always get the same IP address, and will load its initial customizations via TFTP. You can then login to the access point and finalize the configuration of radio channels, etc.

Problem 3: OS Fingerprinting

You want to know what operating systems are being used on your network.

Problem 3: OS Fingerprinting

● Solution: Use DHCP OS fingerprinting via the parameter request list (discovered at Kansas University).

● Caveat: DHCP OS fingerprints are discovered anecdotally and may not always be complete nor accurate.

● Caveat: You can only fingerprint hosts that are powered on and using DHCP.

Recipe 3: OS Fingerprinting

DHCP clients specify what options they want to receive from the server:


While writing a DHCP server, Kansas University staff observed that DHCP clients on different operating systems request parameter lists containing different options in different orders. The parameter request list can thus be used to identify the operating system of the client.

KU implemented this feature on their in-house server. It has since been reimplemented on the ISC DHCP server.


Create a class to match the parameter request list:

# define class for fingerprintingclass "class-os-fingerprint" { match option dhcp-parameter-request-list;}


Create subclasses to identify different parameter lists and set a variable to the matching OS:

subclass "class-os-fingerprint" 1:3:6:f:2c:2e:2f:39 { set var-os-fingerprint = "Microsoft Windows 98";}subclass "class-os-fingerprint" 1:3:6:f:70:71:4e:4f:5f { set var-os-fingerprint = "Macintosh OS X (10.2.8)";}subclass "class-os-fingerprint" 1:f:3:6:2c:2e:2f:1f:21:f9:2b { set var-os-fingerprint = "Microsoft Windows XP";}subclass "class-os-fingerprint" 1:1c:2:3:f:6:c:28:29:2a { set var-os-fingerprint = "Linux";}


Log the resulting information:

[...]log(info, concat( "fingerprint host ", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", substring(hardware,1,6)), " (", binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address), ") has parameter list ", binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", option dhcp-parameter-request-list), " and appears to be ", var-os-fingerprint ));[...]


Configure syslog, and go read the log files:

Apr 11 18:59:11 elbert dhcpd: [ID 702911 local1.info] fingerprint host 0:7:e9:73:9d:bf (156.26.108.57) has parameter list 1:f:3:6:2c:2e:2f:1f:21:f9:2b and appears to be Microsoft Windows XP

Recipe 3: OS FingerprintingParse the log files and report:

2499 unique hosts seen

Microsoft Windows XP 1901 host(s)Macintosh OS X (including 10.4 beta) 175 host(s)Microsoft Windows 98 SE 137 host(s)Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional 110 host(s)Macintosh OS X (including 10.2.8) 82 host(s)Microsoft Windows ME 18 host(s)Microsoft Windows 98 15 host(s)[...]

Problem 4: Revenge of Cisco 1100

Your Cisco PCMCIA wireless card keeps getting the IP address that's supposed to be reserved for

1100 access point setup.

Problem 4: Cisco 1100 Redux

● Issue: The first three octets of the MAC address aren't enough to identify a device as an 1100 access point.

● Solution: Use DHCP OS fingerprinting to classify the 1100 by OS instead of by MAC.

Recipe 4: Cisco 1100 Redux

Create a class and subclasses to match the 1100's parameter request lists:

# define class for Cisco WAPsclass "class-cisco-1100" { match option dhcp-parameter-request-list; next-server 156.26.2.19; filename "setup-1120-confg";}

subclass "class-cisco-1100" 1:6:f:2c:3:21:96:3c;subclass "class-cisco-1100" 1:42:6:3:43:96:3c;


No changes are needed to the one-address pool in the IT subnet:

# Acme University IT subnetsubnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.100.1; pool { deny members of "class-cisco-1100"; range 192.168.100.17 192.168.100.254; } pool { allow members of "class-cisco-1100"; range 192.168.100.16 192.168.100.16; }}


Now the 1100 gets its own IP address, and the PCMCIA wireless card gets a normal address again.

Problem 5: UnauthorizedWireless Access Points

You don't want students and faculty plugging in their own wireless access points.

Problem 5: Unauthorized WAPs

● Solution: Make a policy that only the IT department can deploy wireless access points.

● Issue: The FCC explicitly states that only they may regulate the radio spectrum, and you may not prohibit tenants from deploying wireless access points. So you can stop your faculty by controlling employee behavior, but you can't stop students in the residence halls.

● Solution: Use DHCP OS fingerprinting to identify the wireless access points and keep them from connecting to your LAN.

Recipe 5: Unauthorized WAPs

Create a class and subclasses to match the parameter request lists of the devices you want to block:

# define class for consumer (non-IT) WAPsclass "class-unauthorized-wap" { match option dhcp-parameter-request-list;}

subclass "class-unauthorized-wap" 1:3:6:f; # Apple Airport


Deny the unauthorized access points the ability to get an address from DHCP in certain subnets:

# dorm subnetsubnet 192.168.102.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 192.168.102.1; option domain-name-servers ns1, ns2; pool { deny members of “class-unauthorized-wap”; range 192.168.102.16 192.168.102.254; }}


Or block them globally with a directive in the class declaration:

# define class for consumer (non-IT) WAPsclass "class-unauthorized-wap" { match option dhcp-parameter-request-list; deny booting;}

subclass "class-unauthorized-wap" 1:3:6:f; # Apple Airport

Problem 5: Unauthorized WAPs

● Caveat: The Apple Airport DHCP parameter request list is so short that it's not unique—it's shared by (at least) two other types of devices, which you may or may not wish to block.

● Solution: Write a class that matches both parameter request list and MAC address prefix. (Not implemented—could do on request.)

● Caveat: This recipe only prevents blocked devices from getting an IP address via DHCP; hard-coded address (copied from a PC) will still work.

Problem 6: Clients with Hard-Coded IP Addresses

You want all hosts on your network to use DHCP.

Problem 6: Non-DHCP Clients

● Solution: Make a policy that all clients must use DHCP. Problem solved!


● Issue: Just kidding.


● Restatement: Find all hosts on the network not using DHCP.

● Caveat: The first time, I said clients, not all hosts. Servers and network infrastructure probably have static addresses.


● Restatement: Find all hosts on the network not using DHCP, but only report the clients.

● Restatement: Find all hosts on the network. Subtract the ones using DHCP, and the ones that aren't clients, and report what's left.

● Solution 1: ARP cache● Solution 2: Ping sweep● Solution 3: Traffic sniffer


Solution 1: ARP cache● Get the ARP cache of your router(s) with SNMP.● Get the lease file from the DHCP server and

subtract.● Subtract server and infrastructure devices.● Report.

Recipe 6: Non-DHCP Clients

Get the ARP cache from the router(s):my $comm_ro = "secret";my $router = "<hostname or IP>";my $oid_arp = "ipNetToMediaPhysAddress";

sub slurp_arp { my %arp;

my $cmd = "snmpwalk -v1 -c $comm_ro $router $oid_arp"; open(WALK, "$cmd |") or die "can't open pipe from command\n\n\t$cmd\n\n$!\n"; while (<WALK>) { my ($ip, $mac) = / $IP-MIB::$oid_arp\.\d+\. # header (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+) # IP \s=\sSTRING:\s # blah blah ((?:[a-f\d]{1,2}:){5}[a-f\d]{1,2})$ # MAC /x or next;[...]


Parse the lease file from the DHCP server:lease 156.26.117.224 { starts 2 2005/04/12 03:59:45; ends 5 2005/04/15 03:59:45; tstp 6 2005/04/16 15:59:45; tsfp 6 2005/04/16 07:58:08; cltt 2 2005/04/12 03:59:45; binding state active; next binding state expired; hardware ethernet 08:00:46:c8:34:9e; uid "\001\010\000F\3104\236"; set var-os-fingerprint = "Microsoft Windows XP (including SP2)"; client-hostname "Laptop";}


my $leasefile = "/var/dhcp/dhcpd.leases";

sub slurp_leases { my %leases;

open(LEASES, $leasefile) or die "can't open DHCP lease file $leasefile for reading: $!\n"; local $/ = "}\n";

while (<LEASES>) { next unless my ($ip, $mac) = / ^lease\s # skip OMAPI host entries (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+) # IP \s{ .* binding\ state\ active; # live lease .* hardware\ ethernet\s ((?:[a-f\d]{1,2}:){5}[a-f\d]{1,2}); # MAC /xs;[...]


Get the interface addresses of the router(s) to subtract:my $comm_ro = "secret";my $router = "<hostname or ip>";my $oid_arp = "ipAdEntAddr";

sub router_addrs { my @router_addrs;

my $cmd = "snmpwalk -v1 -c $comm_ro $router $oid_arp"; open(WALK, "$cmd |") or die "can't open pipe from command\n\n\t$cmd\n\n$!\n"; while (<WALK>) { my ($ip) = / $IP-MIB::$oid_arp\.\d+\. # header .* IpAddress:\s (\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+) # IP $ /x or next;[...]


Build lists of other devices to subtract:my $switchfile = "network-ips.txt";

sub switch_addrs { my @switches;

open(SWITCHES, $switchfile) or die "can't open switch IP file $switchfile for reading: $!\n";

while (<SWITCHES>) { next unless my ($ip) = /^(\d+\.\d+)$/; #warn "$ip\n"; push (@switches, "156.26.$ip"); }

return @switches;}


Subtract the DHCP clients, the router's/routers' own addresses, and the server and infrastructure addresses from the list of IPs in the ARP cache, using code so ugly I'm embarassed to let anyone see it. (It'll be cleaned up and put on the conference web site.)

This leaves only client devices using IPs not obtained from DHCP.


Print them out:my @arp = keys %arp;my @missing = grep !exists $lease{$_}, @arp;print "missing from DHCP (arp)\n";foreach my $missing (sort byip @missing) { print "$missing\t$arp{$missing}\n";}

my @different = grep(defined $lease{$_} && ($arp{$_} ne $lease{$_}), @arp);print "\ndifferent in DHCP (arp lease)\n";foreach my $different (sort byip @different) { print "$different\t$arp{$different}\t$lease{$different}\n";}

Recipe 6: Non-DHCP ClientsLooks a little somethin' like this:missing from DHCP (arp)156.26.2.9 00:08:74:d1:1b:0d156.26.2.28 00:b0:d0:83:69:93156.26.2.39 00:c0:4f:2e:7b:6d156.26.2.56 00:08:74:36:1e:13156.26.2.63 00:08:74:36:1d:96156.26.2.91 00:0a:95:8f:6a:3e156.26.2.92 00:0d:56:7e:db:f0156.26.2.93 00:0d:56:7f:6f:6a156.26.2.101 00:06:5b:dd:bd:c4156.26.2.115 00:30:c1:bf:7e:a0156.26.2.123 00:06:5b:dd:be:24156.26.2.131 00:c0:4f:2e:85:74156.26.2.142 08:00:09:4b:8c:09156.26.2.148 00:0e:7f:3b:9d:3f156.26.2.149 00:06:5b:dd:bd:a6156.26.2.154 00:08:74:36:1d:ed156.26.2.163 00:08:74:36:1b:bd156.26.2.166 00:08:74:35:27:0f156.26.2.167 00:06:5b:dd:be:2d156.26.2.173 00:08:74:36:1d:a2[...]


Now hunt them down (probably tracing to switchports with SNMP and cross-referencing to cabling records) and fix them.


● Issue: Oops, forgot to exclude subnets of departments running their own DHCP.

● Solution: Subtract those subnets from the ARP cache too. (Implemented but not worth displaying.)


● Issue: Only looks at leases that are active right now, but the ARP cache is up to four hours old.

● Solution: Enhance lease file processor to retain leases that have expired within the last four hours. (Not implemented; will make available when done.)


● Future: Thread on mailing list about DHCP server advertising black-hole routes for addresses of inactive leases.
